Since a new portable harvest moon is coming out, some people make new farming stratigies. Are you?
Im sticking with my old one, keep a third of the harvest, ship the rest. I might be left with less supplies, but at least I have some money in my pocket
I always make at least 4-5 patches of 8 crops (I leave the middle square empty in each one), keep at least 5 crops of each kind if I'm planting more than 1 type of crop, and then ship the rest. The ones I keep, they usually end up as ingredients for a recipe or as gifts.
